Lupus rashes can appear anywhere. Some people get a malar or "butterfly" rash across the cheeks and nose. People with discoid lupus get rashes on parts of the body that are exposed to the sun. Hives and welts can occur on any part of the body. Bullous lupus causes large, fluid filled blisters that often occur on the hands and feet but can occur in other places as well. Petechaie and purpura look like a rash but are the result of blood leaking into the tissues as a result of low platelets. Panniculitis is an inflammation of fat pockets causing a deep dimpling effect.
